This is a multitrack masterpiece. Done on cassette by one man. Mike Smith. The word ‘genius’ is bandied a out so often that its hardly significant when heard these days. If not ‘genius’ then Mike is certainly a very creative ‘mastercraftsman.’

BCR performs Kimota by Ken Beck w/ Stan Kessler

KC Jazz Pianist and Composer Roger Wilder became interested in music through his father’s (Donald Wilder, b. 1932), mother’s (Alison Herriott Wilder, b. 1935), and sister’s (Laura, b. 1958) piano playing and brother’s (Chris, b. 1960) drumming.  Wilder started piano lessons at age 8 and trombone lessons at age 9.  Through the influence of drum teacher Vinnie Ruggiero, brother Chris became interested in jazz and started drumming professionally as a teenager.  Roger consequently began studying jazz through undergraduate camps at the Eastman School of Music and privately from pianist Barry Kiener.  He entered the University of Miami in 1982 as a trombonist and after switching his principal instrument to piano, was graduated with a Bachelor of Music in Music Engineering Technology in 1986.
